Synthesis and Characterization of Silica-LiMn2O4 Core-Shell Nanosphere Cathodes
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 06 September 2013
Abstract
In order to improve the charge/discharge cycling performance of the LiMn2O4 cathode, the spinel LiMn2O4 is coated on the structurally stable SiO2 nanosphere cores, LiMn2O4@SiO2. The core-shell LiMn2O4@SiO2 nanosphere cathodes are prepared by the MnCO3 precipitation on the silica surface and the following solid state reaction of MnCO3@SiO2 with a lithium salt. The charge/discharge cycle stability has improved by the nanostructural characteristics of the LiMn2O4@ shell on the SiO2 core. The cathode composed of LiMn2O4@SiO2 nanospheres exhibits higher capacity retention of 97% than that of LiMn2O4 nanoparticles of 89%, after 100 battery cycles at a 10C rate.
